>Here's a hyper-anal correction that is itself correct, but doesn't exactly contradict the OP. I've always hated this. Thankfully I've found it happens much, much less on HN vs say reddit haha. The cherry on top is how the correction is effectively useless.

I disagree with the author. I know he's incredibly successful and right about pretty much everything he's ever said, but I've had some experience in this area and just finished reading through some of the archives and I think his focus is wrong. I'm going to ignore the technical issue and talk about the bigger picture and higher level things than what was said in the blog post. If the OP thinks that the process is mo…

It represents an equation with the relationship between the coordinates “x” and “y” on a two-dimensional graph. The tangential velocity is the measurement of the speed at any point tangent to a rotating wheel in a c…

That’s what this site is. You’ve been talking to a machine all this time. Do you really think a person would have this much time to argue day in and day out over systemd?
